Frequently Asked Questions

We upgraded from a 1250 to a 1350 — do we really keep buying the same cartridges?

You do, and it is one of the nicer surprises of this printer family. The Dell 1350 takes the same four part numbers as the machine it replaced: black 331-0778, cyan 331-0777, magenta 331-0780 and yellow 331-0779. Dell built this whole compact color line on one supply platform, so a set already sitting in your supply cupboard from the 1250 days is not dead stock — it is your first set for the 1350. Offices that standardize on this family stop relearning toner with every hardware refresh.

What is inside this set?

Four high-yield compatible cartridges: the 331-0778 black rated at 2,000 pages, and the 331-0777 cyan, 331-0780 magenta and 331-0779 yellow rated at 1,400 pages each, all on the standard 5% coverage basis the industry uses for ratings. The price for the complete set is $46.23, which is about $11.56 per cartridge. One cartridge per color slot, each keyed so it only seats in its own slot — check the part number and color on the label as you install and the job takes minutes.

Why does one cartridge family cover so many different models?

Because the printers share the same print engine platform. Dell sold this compact color design under several model names — the 1250c, 1350cnw, 1355cn, 1355cnw, 1755nf, 1755nfw, C1760nw and C1765nf all appear on the same supply list as the 1350 — and a shared platform means shared consumables. For a buyer the benefit is practical: one set of part numbers to remember, one set to stock, and no orphaned cartridges when a machine is replaced by a sibling model. When you shop, the supply list's part numbers are the ground truth; the model name on the printer's badge is just the local variation.

How far does the black cartridge go in a busier office?

The black 331-0778 is rated at 2,000 pages, and at a steady few hundred pages a week that is a couple of months of everyday printing — letters, invoices, statements, the paper backbone of a small office. The rating assumes 5% coverage, which plain text documents sit close to, so text-heavy offices tend to land near the rating while graphics-heavy ones land under it. The three colors, at 1,400 pages each, are sized to roughly keep pace in a mixed workload, so the set tends to run down together rather than leaving one slot stranded.

Is the full set better value than replacing colors one at a time?

Almost always, yes. At $46.23 the set puts each cartridge at about $11.56; buying the same four cartridges as singles, one emergency at a time, typically costs more per cartridge and adds separate shipping and separate downtime to each event. There is also a quality argument: cartridges of similar age produce more even color than a brand-new cyan working alongside a tired magenta and yellow. Replacing as a set keeps the 1350's output consistent and turns four small disruptions a year into one planned swap.

What cover do I get with these cartridges?

A 1-year warranty against defects on every cartridge and 1-year free returns if one fails to perform, with the details on our shipping and returns page. These are compatible cartridges, not Dell-manufactured ones — the warranty and returns window are what make the saving safe rather than speculative. Your order ships from one of our US warehouses in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia or California, and support is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

Where should the next set wait while the current one is still printing?

In a cool, dry cupboard, still sealed in its packaging, lying flat and out of direct sunlight or radiator heat. Toner does not dry out the way ink does, so a sealed set — 331-0778, 331-0777, 331-0780 and 331-0779 — simply holds its rated life until the day it is fitted. Keep it somewhere the whole office knows, and the changeover becomes a two-minute job instead of a search.

Our reds have started printing orange — which cartridge is the likely cause?

Orange is what red becomes when magenta runs short: red is built from magenta plus yellow, so a tiring 331-0780 magenta starves the mix first. Print the color test page and compare the blocks — a pale magenta block settles it. The yellow 331-0779 and cyan 331-0777 are not implicated by an orange shift, and the black plays no part in color balance at all.

What is the quickest accuracy check while fitting the set?

Read each label against the slot as you go: black 331-0778, cyan 331-0777, magenta 331-0780, yellow 331-0779. Watch the last two in particular — magenta's number is higher than yellow's, which trips people who expect the colors to run in numerical order. Every cartridge is keyed so it only seats in its own position, and the label check takes seconds per slot.

What do we do with the four spent cartridges after a full set change?

Gather them as they come out and keep them apart from the sealed stock so a dead cartridge is never refitted by mistake. Spent units can leave with a local toner recycling collection or your office's e-waste route. If you track consumption, a note of the change date on the box is worthwhile — it turns the next fade into a predictable event rather than a surprise.
